Vax 6000-310
Linwood, NC
Dat drive visible on the front.? Some manuals, looks like possible CD
media and docs, marked Compaq, so not ancient stuff.
Main question I had, does this require a console machine to get
running?? like the Professional 380 which is badged as "Vax Console"?
I can't go get it, just what I noticed.? this was discussed on one of
the DEC FB groups, though I suspect everyone here who knows about that
has read the posts.
thanks

The 6000s (I worked with a few) are self contained. Just plug in a serial console device
(dumb terminal or decwriter or similar. I?d love a 6000 but don?t have space and I?m on
the wrong continent. By default they are wired for three phase power, at least in U.K. I
understand they can easily be converted to single phase so potentially usable in a
domestic environment.

Did you ask on classiccmp? If yes, I must have overseen that. Because, I
have it on our FTP server since a long time ;-)

Sorry for the noise, I have missed the part about the assy number. I don't
have the one you are looking for.

As long as the CPU boards are in there, then it should just work.
There's no separate console processor.

No. The 6000-series just has a serial console.
I've used these in more than one job, but I never had to open them up
to fix them - they were way more reliable than the older models I
worked on in the 80s and 90s.
Nice machines, good amount of horsepower for the era, easy to
upgrade... I just live way too far away to consider attempting to get
it.
It's also overkill for a single-user workstation. ;-)

God, that brings back memories of the 6210 Vax that the Computer Society
had to run the payroll on ROSS financials. When we got rid of it we
found it would not fit through the door of the basement computer room
and that was yet another reason to renovate the room.
Even funnier, when we ripped the door out we found someone had written
on the studs "This door installed after we put in the VAX cuz it
wouldn't fit".....
Humor is always important in IT. But I do remember the drives were
differential SCSI in a 3rd party enclosure that was mounted inside the
6210 box. Did all Vax 6xxx series have the disks in there by default?
